Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu and see if it appears.
If it does, open the General tab of the Finder's preferences and check the box for it.
If it doesn't open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and mount or repair it. If it doesn't show up there either, it's probably dead.
